“Such indecent behaviour does not behove a former chief miner. He is grabbing a police officer’s collar, and is also trying to break the collectorate’s gate. Victory and defeat is part and parcel of a democracy, but who gave you the right to grab a police officer’s collar?,” Chouhan tweeted in Hindi.The senior BJP leader described the Congress veteran’s reaction a result of the grand old party’s ‘frustration’. He posted: “I’m surprised that a person who was a CM for 10 years reacted in such a manner. I condemn his attitude of resorting to abuse that too just because his (political) ground is shrinking.”
मुझे आश्चर्य है कि कोई व्यक्ति दस साल तक मुख्यमंत्री रहकर ऐसी प्रतिक्रिया दे! यह तो कांग्रेस की बौखलाहट का प्रतीक है। जमीन खिसक गई, तो गालियां दो, कॉलर पकड़ो, मैं इसकी घोर निंदा करता हूं।— Shivraj Singh Chouhan (@ChouhanShivraj) July 29, 2022
